— [VIP Live Room]:

  Barbara: I have a bad feeling about this...

  Jean: +1...

  Kaeya: Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking...

  Lisa: You mean to say, could this young man be the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt?

  Klee: Not muted?

  Barbara: Phew—So, that's not the correct answer?!

  Barbara: Great! I knew it; our Anemo Archon Barbatos couldn't possibly be like this!

  Keqing: It's hard to say; after all, all's fair in war. I feel this live room might be intentionally misleading.

  Zhongli: One possibility is that Miss Lisa doesn't know the real answer. What she's saying is purely speculative, hence she's not muted.

  Hutao: Makes sense, let the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor try!

  Hutao: Listen up, everyone! I actually know the correct answer—it's C, Anemo Boxer Venti!

  Hutao: See, nothing happened!

  Alice: Then let me try...

  — [Ding! Detected that Alice may reveal the actual answer, immediate mute for 30s. Mute will lift after 30s when the answer is revealed!]

  Barbara: ???

  Traveler: Uh oh...

  Klee: Mommy is so pitiful...

  Yoimiya: Poor Miss Alice!

  Beidou: Serves her right~

  Hutao: Hahaha, this is hilarious!

  Rosaria: Although I do feel some sympathy, this is really funny!

  Fischl: How amusing!

  Tartaglia: But this also means, Miss Alice knows a lot.

  Klee: Mommy is so awesome!

  — [Answering ends!]

  — [Announcing who answered!]

  — [List as follows: Barbara, Klee, Paimon]

  In the Q&A space, Barbara was in turmoil! She felt very uneasy! The option for Anemo Archon Barbatos made it hard for her to dismiss it. Initially, Lisa's guess had put her at ease, but realizing it was just a guess made Barbara anxious again.

  As a deaconess of the Church of Favonius, and a devout follower of the Anemo Archon Barbatos, she was terrified that answer A could be correct. Especially with that eerie premonition. If it turned out to be true and she didn't pick it, what punishment would she get? Dancing the 'Bovine Ballet' or singing 'I'm the Queen'... The mere thought scared her!

  — [Announcing Barbara's answer!]

  — [Barbara chose answer B, Bard Venti—Answer incorrect, drawing random punishment... Punishment chosen!]

  — [Barbara received Social Death Performance: Live Hilichurl Dance!]

  — [Immediately implement and broadcast across all of Teyvat!]

  After exiting the Q&A space, Barbara had no more thoughts on her faith in the Anemo Archon! The glaring text almost made her crumble. She had her eye on becoming a dazzling idol, and had numerous fans in Mondstadt. She was very mindful of her idol image, even when walking on the streets during her time off. Her idol career had just begun, and now she faced an unprecedented crisis!

  — [Social Death Performance begins now!]
